Battery and Charger

Battery charging
The charger provided for the E-merge electric vehicle has brought a solution to the common problem
relating to the battery charging. The charger can shut off automatically to prevent undercharge and
overcharge. Meanwhile, all battery compartments are automatically distributed with balanced electric
quantity by the light current in such a way to prolong the service life of the battery. Never allow the
battery to be in the discharge condition, as it may affect the internal components and reduce the battery
capacity. The battery should be charged every day after it is used. In case the battery is not used, no
charging is required.
In case any of the following situations: 1 new battery; 2 long-term use; 3 the humidity is too low,
additional charge may be required. The electric quantity of battery of electric vehicles that are not in
operation should be inspected. The battery of which the specific gravity is less than 1.250 requires
additional charge. In case the problem still remains unsettled after the additional charge, the charger of
the battery should be inspected. Please refer to "battery charger".
Deep discharge
It is strictly prohibited to charge the battery until it has no enough power to drive the vehicle. This may
shorten the cycle life of the battery remarkably, and may result in the irremediable defect of the battery.
In case the battery is fully discharged, it may be unable to be charged any longer. To more the battery is
discharged, the harder the battery is able to bear. Therefore, it is suggested that every time the battery is
used (in case the charging cycle is not interrupted and the charger can shut off automatically), the
electric vehicle is charged. Charging the battery every time it is used can diminish the discharge depth
and prolong the service life of the battery.
Premature excessive discharge
In case the new battery is used, it will not reach its full capacity before it is used and charged for 20 to 50
times. IN case the new battery is over-discharged during its service life, its effective service life will be
shortened, and it is therefore suggested that the use of electric vehicle in the first four weeks is restricted
before it will be used for wider ranges.
AC power supply line
Ensure that the power supply line providing the alternating current has adequate capacity. In case the
breaker trips, the fuse is burnt at night or the charger fails to reach the required starting velocity when it
charges the normal battery, the problem may lie with the AC power line. When all charges are open, the
power supply line of the storage facility of the electric vehicle can supply sufficient voltage and current for
each charger. In case it fails to do so, please consult with the local power company or electricity
inspector. Please refer to "battery charger".
